A cell (450) having an anode compartment (403) and a cathode compartment (402) is used to electrolyze an alkali metal polysulfide into an alkali metal. The cell (450) includes an anode (404), wherein at least part of the anode (404) is housed in the anode compartment (403). The cell (450) also includes a quantity of anolyte (471) housed within the anode compartment (403), the anolyte comprising an alkali metal polysulfide and a solvent. The cell (450) includes a cathode (405), wherein at least part of the cathode (405) is housed in the cathode compartment (402). A quantity of catholyte (491) is housed within the cathode compartment (402). The cell (450) operates at a temperature below the melting temperature of the alkali metal.
